    MELCom International 38th annual conference Leiden University Library | 30.05-02.06.2016 Business Meeting Minutes & Conference Report Conference Report Twenty-one years ago the MELCom International annual meeting was held in the both delightful and venerable settings of Leiden in the Netherlands and it was with much anticipation that long-standing and newer members of the association convened again in the charming Dutch university town. The thirty-eighth annual conference of MELCom International was convened by Birte Kristiansen, Librarian of the Middle East Collections at Leiden University Library and Arnoud Vrolijk, Librarian for Oriental Special Collections at the ULL. The conference attracted a large crowd of professionals: 85 registered persons came from 21 different countries of work, ten of whom were commercial attendees. Among founding members, we had the pleasure of having with us this year Derek Hopwood, Geoffrey Roper and Françoise Barrès-Kotobi. 1 Attendees' countries of work repartititon MI 2016 Number of participants 16 15 14 12 10 8 8 7 7 6 7 7 6 4 5 4 2 2 3 2 3 2 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 COUNTRIES OF WORK The scientific programme included twenty-seven presentations, six of which were in French. One presentation was cancelled for imperative reasons at the last minute. They covered a large array of the librarianship field (see programme), from manuscript, print and digital collections to cataloguing standards, libraries and librarians’ past and recent history, as well as a whole panel devoted to publishing trends in Middle East countries. The geographic and historical breadth of the presentations was particularly striking this year, taking us on a panoramic tour of the Islamic, Arabic, Persian, Ottoman and modern Turkish collections and projects associated with them in France, Germany, Great-Britain, Croatia, Spain, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, Israel, Lebanon, Qatar, the UAE, and the USA.

    The Dutch Republic, Centre of the European Book Trade in the 17Th Century by Paul G

    The Dutch Republic, Centre of the European Book Trade in the 17th Century by Paul G. Hoftijzer In the seventeenth century, the Dutch Republic witnessed its Golden Age. The reasons for this phenomenon are diverse, but it impacted all branches of Dutch society, including the production, distribution and consumption of printed media. The book trade benefitted from a lack of control, the result of the country’s remarkable political structure and absence of a state religion. Waves of religious and economic immigrants provided the necessary manpower, skills and creativity. Following the workings of a stable market economy, printers and publishers turned imported raw materials, including news and information, into finished products – books, newspapers, magazines – which they sold wherever there was a demand for them, at home as well as abroad. High rates of literacy and education encouraged a thriving book culture. The ascendency, however, was shortlived, as it also depended on the temporarily weak position of neighbouring countries. By the middle of the eighteenth century, with Britain, France and the German states on the rise, the 'Dutch miracle' was over, in the world of books as well as in any other. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Introduction: The Dutch Republic and Its Golden Age 2. Printing and Bookselling in the Dutch Republic 3. Immigrants 4. Politics 5. Economics 1. Books in Bulk 2. Book Piracy 6. International vs National Book Trade 7. Readers and Private and Public Libraries 8. Epilogue 9. Appendix 1. Bibliography 2. Notes Indices Citation Introduction: The Dutch Republic and Its Golden Age One of the most striking outcomes of the religious and political conflicts in 16th‐century Europe was the creation of the Republic of the Seven United Dutch Provinces.

GROLIERII ET AMICORUM A Stroll through Leiden’s Book History Jean Grolier (1479-1565) ‘[…] showed himself always a zealous protector of the learned, a lover of the good and beautiful books issued by the Giunti and the Aldi, or by the other publishers of the time, and also an ardent collector of coins and of antiquities.’ Grolier is considered one of the chief ornaments of the French Renaissance. Nowadays he is remembered foremost for the fact that his books were bound superbly in beautiful and sumptuous bindings. On several books the generous inscription IO. GROLIERII ET AMICORUM was stamped. Grolier’s library, now dispersed, still ranks among one of the most precious book collections of all time. Jean Grolier surely must have loved Leiden with its many libraries and its rich history connected to the production, sale and printing of books. Illustrious names such as Plantijn, Raphelengius, Elzevier and Brill still resonate in the streets of the town. The history of books in Leiden is very much connected with the history of its university.
